HackLibrarySchool

I read a blog post on Hack Library School this morning that asked the question, “What’s your library obsession?” It’s a great question, and one I’ve been thinking about for a while. I’ve recently switched positions within Tech Services at my current employer, so I’ve been busy learning new things on the job, which is great! I’ve been thinking about other areas of librarianship to explore outside my job, as professional and personal development. I’d been working to expand my knowledge of ebooks, since they were a growing part of my last position, but with the new position (and our Tech Services reorganization), ebooks have shifted away from my job.

So what’s next? I’ve been thinking about learning more about data science as it relates to libraries, but there’s a pretty big (but not impossible) learning curve there. I’ve also been working on my foreign language skills on Duolingo. Still, I’ve been keeping my eyes open to other ideas and opportunities.
